Tolstoy, SD. - Detoxification

Individuals who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehab facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the individual is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as swiftly and safely as possible.
